Sat, 17 Feb 2018 20:47:48 +0000http://jeannetakenaka.wordpress.com/?p=6238#comment-8803I could so fully relate to your questions and I have had many of my own. I can look back on them now and even now guess on what I believe God’s purpose was. I think I am right on several, but I surely wont know until Heaven. That is why I love your point about focusing on the Lord not on the questions. I ultimately want a deeper relationship with him and all the problems and all the whys have definitely brought me closer to God.

I don’t think I ask “why?” so much anymore, but I definitely have my own form. It seems to be more of a “how long?” kind of thing. Time to renew my focus. 🙂

Those are great questions that the cross answers so boldly, so directly, doesn’t it? I am in awe of His great love, a love I will never understand other than to trust and know that it exists, even in times as those in which we live. I am comforted by your words here, Jeanne, and can see a sincere application of His grace in your life. Thank you as always for seeing beauty in the ashes.

Fri, 16 Feb 2018 22:38:33 +0000http://jeannetakenaka.wordpress.com/?p=6238#comment-8797Choosing love is a process for me, Annie. But, I guess as we are intentional about choosing love over hate or anger or other things, God meets us there and helps us to love well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts today. 🙂

I’m glad He gives us space to ask the why’s, but we need to be careful not to become consumed by them, don’t we? Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

I’m glad He doesn’t leave all the answers to wait until we’re face-to-face with Him. I know the things God taught me during those dark days will always stay with me. It’s pretty amazing how He can use us to share with others walking through hard times, isn’t it? I so appreciate your insights!

I choose to remember that God is still good, even when bad things happen in our world. I hope you have a beautiful weekend!
